Lung Month Celebration Successfully Conducted in Balamban

The Lung Month Celebration was successfully conducted in the Municipality of Balamban, providing the community with access to free mobile chest X-ray services and health education activities.

The free chest X-ray services were brought closer to the community through the following venues:

Arpili Sports Complex – 128 clients served on August 24, 2026

Hingatmonan Sports Complex – 182 clients served on August 27, 2026

Baliwagan Sports Complex – 134 clients served on August 28, 2026

A total of 444 clients were served throughout the three-day community-based activity.

As part of the Lung Month Celebration, a No Smoking Symposium was also conducted to raise awareness about the harmful effects of smoking and promote healthier lifestyles among community members.

This meaningful activity would not have been possible without the strong support and partnership of our dedicated stakeholders.

Our sincere gratitude to the Department of Health – Central Visayas Center for Health Development (DOH CV CHD / Region VII), International Care Ministries Foundation, Inc. (ICM), and Mr. Filman P. Brobo, RN, MAN, Active Development Management Officer of the Department of Health – Central Visayas Center for Health Development, for their invaluable support, dedication, and partnership in making this activity possible.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the Barangay Captains of Arpili, Baliwagan, and Hingatmonan, the Barangay Councils for Health, and all the Barangay Councilors for their valuable support and cooperation in making this activity a success.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our beloved Mayor Amos Edwin C. Cabahug for his unwavering support and commitment to the health and well-being of the people of Balamban.

Together, we continue to bring essential health services closer to the people and strengthen our commitment to a healthier, smoke-free, and empowered community.

Thank you to everyone who made this Lung Month Celebration a success!

Protect your lungs, protect your life. 🫁

DOH: MAGING HANDA SA EPEKTO NG HAZE SA KALUSUGAN!

Dahil sa hanging Habagat, umabot na sa ilang bahagi ng Luzon at Visayas ang usok mula sa forest fires sa Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Maaaring magdulot ang haze ng hirap sa paghinga, pag-ubo, pananakit ng dibdib, pangangati o pagluluha ng mga mata, at paglala ng mga sakit sa baga tulad ng hika. Dobleng pag-iingat ang kailangan para sa mga bata, matatanda, at mga may dati nang sakit sa baga o puso.

Habang nagpapatuloy ang banta ng haze, mag-suot ng mask kung lalabas ng bahay. Alamin ang lagay ng hangin sa inyong lugar at unahin ang kaligtasan. Maging handa sa banta ng Haze!
